About Corin
I’m a lifelong writer (well, at least since I could hold a crayon) and a versatile food, drink, and travel journalist who toggles between features, hard news, and essays. I've been a dining critic and drinks columnist at multiple newspapers, including Newsday and Seven Days, and I’ve also written for The Guardian, Wine Enthusiast, Serious Eats, and other publications. I find the heart of a story quickly and especially love finding treasures hiding in plain sight. I’m also a bot wrangler, infographic designer, and ghost writer. My first book, Forgotten Drinks of Colonial New England, examined early American history through drinking habits and was covered by NPR, Atlas Obscura, Yankee magazine, and many podcasts and television stations. I continue to speak on the topic and guide tastings of proto-cocktails.
I’ve taught journalism and graphic design to college students and volunteered with myriad nonprofits focused on young people, including Mentoring USA, Global Kids, and CASA New Hampshire.
I hold an BA in journalism from the University of Arizona, an MFA in nonfiction writing from Goucher College, and a WSET 3 certification from the Wine & Spirit Education Trust.
